Police said a woman who was both sexually assaulted and stabbed was able to escape and get help in Anne Arundel County Monday afternoon.

Investigators tell WBAL Radio the woman was attacked in an apartment in the 400-block of Secluded Post Circle, Glen Burnie shortly before noon Monday. Police said the victim and the attacker knew each other through her place of employment. They also said the attack was not random.

Police said Shane Lee Miller, 37, of the above address stabbed and sexually assaulted the woman and then drove her to a nearby Food Lion grocery store. Once arriving at the grocery store, the woman was able to get the attention of the store's staff who then called police.

"Obviously she was able to alert the store's staff without the suspect knowing in contacting police and letting people know she needed help," said Justin Mulcahy, a spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Police Department.

The woman was then taken to an area hospital where she was treated and released.

After questioning Miller, police then took him into custody.

Miller was charged with first degree rape, first degree sex offense, robbery, first degree assault, second degree assault and false imprisonment.
